That would be brilliant if that’s possible; yep I knew the HR was OOS so no worries with waiting for a bit.

Thanks

Jon

I’ll hop onto this merry bandwagon (thanks for the idea!).

I co-run this band of merry and talented misfits – Creatomatic | Digital Agency.

WordPress websites, branding and graphics clever custom bits of development – that’s our bag.

We do a lot of good work with holiday let businesses (albeit they’re having a torrid old time of it right now), and have also built some cool tools for estate agents that hooks their property feeds up to the likes of RightMove and Zoopla.

So far (touches wood) we’ve managed to keep everybody busy and kept going without having to furlough anyone, hopefully that can continue a while longer.

Case of beers arrived today, cheers @singletrackmind

It might be a cheeky but there were only 11 in the case…..just checking if this was deliberate (which I’d understand, for the hassles of splitting and repacking cases) or not.

No probs either way, certainly looking forward to a cold one later.

@singletrackmind ordered a case of pure gold last night after reading everyone’s reviews of how good it is. Was going to get a mix of a couple of options but other ones i liked the sound of were out of stock. First proper drink in months so really looking forward to getting them. Thanks.

LPA has certainly gone down well this evening.

just put in another order for 7 crates (not all for me, what do you think i am? 😀 ), lovely beer and looking forward to yet another order when the full complements available, excellent customer service too, thanks rob…..

John V. I am extreamly sorry. We have a clueless lady who does the packing and this sort of doo lally non sense stupidity is right up her street. I wrote on your order 4 x hr, 4 x pg, 4 x lpa in B I G letters and she still failed
I will sort something out

Gunsmas. If i can i will throw in some extras, it might have been dispatched already, christ nows you deserve it

Still getting good footfall and a higher spend per head. By keeping the draught beer price low people are happy to spend on cider, wine and gin to average out the orders. Or to smooth the waters with the significant other at home when they walk in the door with 36 pints

hey, don’t be, certainly don’t waste money on another courier yet. I’ll def be ordering again, we can sort it out then.

Will be casting eye over the ciders as well – despite previous tricky experiences with genuine west country producers (as a callow youth, cricket tour to Bath and Somerset was an….experience)

May be sacrilege, but do you have any alcohol free / low alcohol ciders…..my boy’s only 14 but does enjoy them

Hey all,
Although a subscriber, I rarely look at the forums, glad I did. As well as being a geek of a mountain biker, my career to fund this addiction – Mortgage Broker – boooo I hear you say. In brief, advise and arrange mortgages for anyone looking to buy a home, buy to let, get a better deal etc as well as advise of life insurance, income protection and critical illness cover.

Well, as you can imagine, CoVID19 has had a massive impact on my business, not many buying properties at the moment. But, in short a summary…

Gah nearly ordered more beer on Friday as Watercress Best was back in stock and (thinking that two orders in month was a bit much) decided to hold off. Code has now expired (though the beer is excellent so that won’t stop me ordering once we are out).

Code expired you say !! Utter disaster , something must be done
To avoid anyone going thirsty I had a chat with the sales guy about a shiney new code , fortunatly he agreed we could do something .
June only for now , will re-visit in 4 weeks time
Not quite as attractive but still a tasty 20% off the bottles . Shipping 1 – 2 cases is an additional £8.99. Minimum spend to trigger code is £50 ,or 2 x 12 bottles . STW20 .

Pride of the Valley due back 17th Jue , and Russian Winter 23rd ish . Brand new NEIPA in Cans ‘ Trip Hazard ‘ due the same week . 5.5% abbv , 440ml . £2.50 a can pre discount .
Happy to take orders and put on hold waiting for full mixed cases. The clicky BIN button on the mixed cases will double the shipping for 2 x 12’s . Bill Gates here will try a work around tomrrow.
Thanks to all who have bought some beer , it really does help keep things ticking over .
No alcohol cider ? no chance , although the 4% Mango tastes of pureed Mango and no alcohol whatsoever

It’s not for me it’s for the 14yo, and I couldn’t give a toss what it tastes like, I don’t need a drunk teenager chundering all over the house 😉

@singletrackmind after missing the delivery on Friday while we were out on our daily exercise, I received my case yesterday. Thankyou very much for the quick delivery and a huge thanks for the extras. Had a pure gold last night and yes, definitely worth it. Will probably try one of the others tonight. Thanks again, really appreciated.

Just posting a shout-out for @Binners following me contacting him via this thread… He has designed, printed and framed a stunning picture for an anniversary present.

From a few holiday snaps he managed to create something quite stunning which I had the pleasure of collecting from him last week and spending a pleasant 30 minutes chatting all things bikes with him in the sunshine (socially distant of course).

Highly recommended, thanks mate.

Cheers @chrisbucko. It was an absolute pleasure to do that for you. I hope you don’t mind me sharing the image. Chris sent me his holiday pics, which looked bloody great, so I distilled it all down into this image of himself and his wife kayaking up the Yukon River in Canada.

This was printed at 80 x 60cm and looks great all framed up at that scale (even if I do say so myself)

I’d just like to say a huge thank you to everybody who got in touch and commissioned designs. I’ve never been busier. It’s been a full-time job. Which is just well as the usual day job has been history since March and won’t be back any time soon. No furlough for us freelancers either so this has literally been a lifeline.

I’m working my way through a list and still have a couple to do for folk on here. So I can’t thank the STW community enough. And thanks again to Chipps for putting this thread up. I’ve really enjoyed doing illustrations for you all as you’re an adventurous lot, so I’ve had loads of really nice locations to draw up, and added to my list of places I need to go

@singletrackmind I must say I am loving your beer. I find myself getting quite fussy on bottled beers and yours is superb. Just ordering more. Cheers!

Hi luke. Thanks for your kind words. I saw your order pop up, glad you like them enough to order again
We have shifted over 20,000 bottles dince Boris closef the pubs, and a load of those has been through stw
Chipps, i will get a mixed case out to you next week, been busy and i keep forgetting
Cheers
Rob

@singletrackmind i agree with luket, we’re all enjoying your mixed crates over here too….

ready to put in yet another order i think, so ill pm you with a few questions on availability etc….

Another one enjoying the Itchen Valley beers here. That Russian Winter is really nice, also love the Pure Gold and the Pride Of the Valley. I can see another order coming in…

I have just set up The Southern Liteville Centre – a new UK dealership to sell and support the Liteville Brand of top quality German MTB & Gravel bikes and to launch their new E- Bike to the UK. check out the range on http://www.southernlitevillecentre.co.uk or on instagram

The June code has expired and I’m running low on supplies – saving the best till last, I have just two bottles each of Pride Of The Valley and PUre Gold left so I was thinking of ordering more…

Need a roofer for approximately 2 days and a general builder/painter for 3 days in Pembrokeshire, west Wales.

Good Morning All

I have cleared this with the moderators to post is this section. I am the owner of http://www.peakmountainbiking.co.uk and after 15 years I have decided to call it a day. It’s seems a shame to close the business so I offering the business up for sale. If anyone has any interest please email me via the website of message me on here.

Hi All,

I’m a bit late to the STW lockdown party but better late than never…!

Like Singletrack I’m based in “sunny” Calderfornia and offer MTB guiding and skills instruction as Whoosh Mountain Biking. Skills courses are generally here in Hebden Bridge or at Lee Quarry and I have routes all over the North of England including the Peak, Dales, Lakes, Lancashire Moors, and elsewhere in Yorkshire.

One-to-ones have been back for a few weeks and I’m now able to take bookings for small groups so please get in touch if you want to set something up.

Thanks for the great thread idea Chipps, cheers,

Chris @ WhooshMTB

Just fitted some new wider wheels on your car and they are rubbing? Give me a shout. Mobile service, we come to you. I’m the South London guy but will travel if fuel costs are covered.

http://www.archenemy.co.uk

And if you’ve got some nice trails nearby let me know, I’ll throw the bike in and we can go for a ride after! Double bouns!!

We make bicycle cogs and other nice bits and bobs right here in sunny (at the minute) County Durham. We’ll do one-offs as well.

We are, hopefully, about to set up a whole new thing soon – just waiting to relocate, but if I can pop a wee link in here that would be smashing! My job has shuddered to an unnatural conclusion so we are heading north to set up a mini glamping site just a couple of miles from Lochness (providing our sale and purchase all go through over the next few weeks).

As well as glamping we are going to be offering commercial photography services throughout the Highlands, photography workshops and tours plus very probably historical/archaeological tours of Northern Scotland too. We won’t be fully operational this side of Spring 2021 I don’t think, other than commercial photography and 1:1 workshops/photography lessons but if any of that sounds interesting keep an eye on our website.

We are in that excited and scared phase just now!

If you could add in mtb guiding, escorted hill walks, supported whwiad or 2 or 3 trips plus some cultural or local stuffi think you could do ok bit late for 2020 but gives ypu months to get the rest of the site sorted.
Good luck, keep us all informed

Great thread and I’ve already contacted a couple of people about their skills – next on the list is Binners as I love the idea of the prints and the moments they capture.

Unfortunately my day to day work can’t really offer anything interesting but, I enjoy tinkering with car stereos and installing aftermarket kit.

If anybody wants any advice on stereos please feel free to message me – not expecting anything for it.

Maybe a bit late now that summer is almost over, but the recent “quiet camping” thread got me thinking. I have lovely flat secluded field in the middle of the Black Mountains which I sometimes let small groups camp on. I always offer exclusive use for whoever books it first, no matter on group size. There are a pair of compost loos, a cold shower :-), a large fire pit, and a small river with a pool to (almost) swim in. It is a 1 km walk across fields to a ruined abbey and 2 pubs. We are 5 miles from the Black Mountains Cycle Center and have fantastic MTB riding straight from the door. I am happy to help point people to the best trails in the area and can provide gpx routes if wanted. We are a dark sky area and absolute silence is guaranteed at night (though you may have to share the field with some curious sheep!). Just to be clear, there is zero mobile signal or wifi! Despite that we are only 10 miles from the motorway system and about 45 minutes from the Severn Bridge. I charge £6 pppn. All dates are available for the rest of year, apart from the upcoming Bank Holiday. Just drop me a PM on this forum and I will try and help.

Field located almost dead center of this pic

Can you give a postcode please?

I’m on the ceiling at the moment and need a break, your offering might be a more sensible alternative to wild camping. It sounds like heaven right now.

@Cougar

NP7 7NL

Google Llanthony Priory. We are a couple of fields away

Edit: Sounds like heaven? Sounds more like a hurricane at the moment lol

Loving your work there @flannol!

And thank you, everyone, for your kind words about my ‘work’ (it never feels like ‘work’)

Can I just say again a huge thank you to everyone who’s commissioned big prints. I feel flattered and honoured that you’ve trusted me to draw up such personal images. I’ve absolutely loved doing them. I’ve had some fantastic subject matter. You’re an interesting and discerning lot.

I’ll share this one with you because sometimes you get an absolute gift. I was supplied with a few photos, one of which was of the couple jumping up in the air, which just had to be the focal point. The rest is a geographical mash-up, which seem to have become the most popular type of illustration. I do love a bit of geographical vandalism, me 🙂

So in this image, we’ve got the couple (this was a present for his better half), the Newlands Corner (Surrey Wildlife Trust) View, Brussels Grand Place, the New York Skyline, The Eiffel Tower, a cricket match, a mountain biker (obviously!), a bee and a detectorist. Oh… and a flamingo. I loved doing this. I think its a joyous thing. A celebration of life. Printed at 1 metre wide and framed it looks fantastic.

We do offmains drainage systems, septic tanks small sewage treatment plants.

Design and install systems, repairs and services. Also carry out pre purchase surveys of house which have private drainage systems. Lots getting caught out by recent changes in regs.
